where a Stepback is provided, it shall be a minimum of 2.5 m;
The Development Officer may reduce the minimum Stepback where:
a sun shadow study, prepared by a qualified, registered Professional Engineer or Architect, demonstrates the shadow impact is minimal, using March 21 and September 21 as the benchmark; or
variations in Yards and Stepbacks, recessed balconies, or other design techniques minimize building massing and/or shadow impacts, and provide architectural interest, complimentary to the surrounding development;
no outdoor parking, garbage collection, common amenity areas, or outdoor storage areas shall be developed within 3.0 m;
a solid screen fence, 1.83 m in height, shall be installed, except along common flanking Front Yard boundaries;

building finishes shall be compatible with the exterior finishing materials and colours typical of adjacent development; and
the Development Officer may require information regarding the location of windows and Amenity Areas on adjacent properties to ensure the windows or Amenity Areas of the proposed development are placed to minimize overlook into adjacent properties.
